Fungal plant pathogens pose major threats to crop yield and sustainable food production if they are highly adapted their host the local environment. Variation in gene expression contributes phenotypic diversity within fungal species affects adaptation. However, very few cases of adaptive regulatory changes have been reported fungi underlying mechanisms remain largely unexplored. pathogen genomes plastic harbor numerous insertions transposable elements, which can potentially contribute...
Fungal plant pathogens secrete a large arsenal of hydrolytic enzymes during the course infection, including peptidases. Secreted peptidases have been extensively studied for their role as effectors. In this study, we combined transcriptomics, comparative genomics and evolutionary analyses to investigate all 39 secreted in fungal wheat pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici its close relatives Z. pseudotritici ardabiliae. RNA-seq data revealed that majority displayed differential transcription...
Wild germplasms are often the only significant sources of useful traits for crops, such as soybean, that have limited genetic variability. Before these can be effectively manipulated they must characterized at cytological and molecular levels. Modern soybean probably arose through an ancient allotetraploid event subsequent diploidization genome. However, wild Glycine species not been intensively investigated this polyploidy. In article we determined number both 5S 18S-28S rDNA sequences in...
Plant cell walls constitute a major defence barrier against pathogens, although it is unclear how specific wall components impact pathogen colonisation. Pathogens secrete degrading enzymes (CWDEs) to facilitate plant colonisation, but damaged, infected cells are often source of wall-derived oligosaccharides that trigger host immunity. The mechanisms by which pathogens minimize the release while colonizing remain be elucidated. We combined biochemical, molecular genetics and transcriptomic...
Bidirectional flow of information shapes the outcome host-pathogen interactions and depends on genetics each organism. Recent work has begun to use co-transcriptomic studies shed light this bidirectional flow, but it is unclear how plastic co-transcriptome in response genetic variation both host pathogen. To study plasticity, we conducted transcriptomics using natural pathogen, Botrytis cinerea, large-effect abolishing defense signaling pathways within host, Arabidopsis thaliana. We show...
Abstract Background Variation in gene expression contributes to phenotypic diversity within species and adaptation. However, very few cases of adaptive regulatory changes have been reported the mechanisms underlying variation remain largely unexplored. Fungal pathogen genomes are highly plastic harbour numerous insertions transposable elements, which can potentially contribute regulation. In this work we elucidated how elements melanin accumulation, a quantitative trait fungal pathogens that...
